Operating Systems Linux Make directory used as mount point read-only Post 302921452 by coolatt on Friday 17th of October 2014 07:05:55 AM

Debian Make directory used as mount point read-only

For my backup , I mount and external hard disk to /mnt/mybackup and then I do an rsync to /mnt/mybackup

If for some reason the rsync fails, I want to prevent it from writing data on the server hard disk itself since the external hard disk will no longer be mounted on it.

I want /mnt/mybackup directory to be read-only and when my external device (e.g /dev/sda1) is mounted on it then I want it to be read/write-able by rsync

Please advise me on this

NAME
gitmount - GNU Interactive Tools - auto-mount script SYNTAX
gitmount device DESCRIPTION
gitmount is a script which allows you to mount any block device without specifying the file system type. You may now insert the floppy in the drive and type ' gitmount fd0' and the first floppy will be mounted in the directory /mnt/fd0. On Linux just press F11 or F12. You don't need to know the file system type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0 and /mnt/fd1 are created if they don't exist. BUGS
